Eschatology - Theology notes continue

Vatican 2 - reign of God bigger than Church. The effect of this hellenism. What happens to the body? It becomes more individual than historical. “Resurrected body” lives forever and soul. Zen - mind and body is one. Affirmation of the created order. Mind, body and spirit is to the Eastern Church. Augustine - Western Church. Inner hell is separation of God. Apokatastasis - The restoration of all things. The restoration of the world order. Holy Saturday - when Christians celebrate dissension to hell. Opens up a temporary hell. Purgatory develops gradually and then in the middle ages. Augustine - accumulated etc philosophical, scripture etc. Distinction between time and eternity (no temporal time of eternity). Freedom from temporal times so Angels can be at different times and places. 15th century or 16th, Mystic Spain in convent. King of Spain would go to spiritual counsellor. Over in New World in New Mexico Mary, is appearing to them at the same time (bio location) Maria of Agrippa. Father Pio battled with Demons. 1000 year Kingdom - Good News, Armageddon - Satan will be released after - Augustine’s belief. In the Middle Ages started to associate the visible Church with the City of God. In the Middle Ages - a lot of structures, universities, hospitals and orphanages. All had their structures in the Middle Ages. Tritheism is when you separate the three persons in the Spirit. Book of Revelation: Father - Old Testament - Obedience, respect. Son - faith - obedience. Spirit - motifs are love and spirit, the new born and reborn. Joachim - How do I listen to other religions with the spirit of the Holy Spirit? Predestination does not = foreknowledge. Example - God knows what I am going to choose. Soul while waiting for resurrection does participate. Is resurrection immediate? Dante - No proof his visions were real, but he insisted it was a vision. Seven deadly sins: pride, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust, envy. Earthly falling in love: Heavenly falling in love. There is an implicit message that to go to heaven, we must understand hell. Luther - will focus on one aspect that parallels Dante. After the Middle Ages decline of the Church - shifts from geographical to emotional. Despair vs hell near Despair vs Purgatory. Heaven - security. Hell is living with despair with no work. The important thing is we can get stuck that these are places rather than states. Church exists on Earth, in Purgatory and in heaven - Communion of Saints. We don’t know. It’s possible the people in Purgatory cannot get themselves out. There is no reference to a condition of Heaven in Hell. The Council of Trent was the first major counsel. Vatican 11, Militant changed to pilgrimage - a journey - the image is changed. Mark - If say Jesus is evil it is unforgivable. To be continued with Looking at connection between Jesus Resurrection and the rest of the world.
